Abstract (in English)
Deterioration of masonry in buildings often results from a combination of chemical and physical causes. The original minerals in a building stone can change chemically with an associated loss of durability. At the same time, mechanical weathering processes can contribute to a physical breakdown of the fabric of the stone with little or no significant change in the composition of the constituent minerals. Physical decay is often the result of temperature and moisture changes in the masonry.
